I am pretty darned sure that the binutils (e.g., objcopy) are only used
in the arch/i386 built target. The arch/host target should only use the
vanilla linker/loader (e.g., ld).
If you've got a linker/loader for AIF, you should be OK. (You gotta
give the bootloader what it expects, and it expects AIF, right? Our
Ethernet bootloader expects, in part, a "raw" file, and we needed to use
objcopy only to turn the default ELF format into a "raw" file whose
entry point was at the zeroth byte, and whose .bss section was actually
represented as zeroes in the file.)
In summary, if I understand what you're trying to do (and maybe I
*STILL* don't), I don't think you need the binutils.
